Eight....and....nine


Today we will re-visit 2008 and 2009, just for the fun of it.  In 2008 I was in the middle of creating Santa Claus's similar to this one I created in November of that year ...

obviously my picture-taking abilities needed a
LOT of work!!

I also did a number of this type of beaded buttons...


And, just for a change of pace, I even stenciled a wall!
I've done this same wall twice.  My friends had it 
done once and a number of years later wanted to
re-paint and asked me to recreate the original.


2009 marked the beginning of a year-long
art doll round robin collaboration and in June
 I sent out this poor nekkid little doll..


AND, through the wonders of modern technology,
here she is as she looked when she returned 
home to me, approx. a year later!


Her name is Shudayra!!
If you want to see further details, have a look at my post found HERE

In August of 2009 I was hard at work making a ring bearer's pillow that ended up looking like this...



Today's quote is from Mel Robbins..."Don't tell people your dreams.  Show them"

    1. We did several art doll round robins and it was great fun. Unfortunately postage costs had to put an end to it.
